| Obverse description | A bishop's head facing forward, flanked by two stars, depicted beneath a triple arch surmounted by a central tower with two additional bishop's heads emerging from the lateral arches. The architectural canopy motif is characteristic of ecclesiastical Pfennig coinage of the region. The design is enclosed within a double circle of lines forming the outer border of the field. |
